When Sora returns to the real Twilight Town later in the game, Setzer is the second opponent to be fought, accessible after defeating Hayner ten times. Ten victories over Setzer earns the player the right to challenge Vivi.
==Design==
Setzer is relatively unchanged from his appearance in ''Final Fantasy VI''. He has long, silver hair and violet eyes, as well as a number of thin scars, one of which reaches from his hairline and over his left eye. He wears a loose shirt that is lilac in the front and violet in the back and black pants secured by a black belt with a silver skull belt buckle. The legs of his pants are tucked into knee-high lilac boots with swirling lavender designs on the back, and designs vaguely resembling parts of the Nobody sigil on the toes.
==In Battle==


As a Struggle fighter, Setzer has a very simple moveset. He moves quite nimbly and can leap back swiftly to dodge attacks. One of Setzer's three moves is a simple, short-range thrust that can easily be avoided. His other moves are much more powerful. In one, he jumps through the air spinning his bat, hitting a large area. In the other, he stops and kneels down - if attacked, he not only blocks the attack but uses a strong counterattack, knocking his opponent into the air and stealing many orbs from them.
He also ties a han purple sash with swirling white patterns on it around his waist, covering half of his left leg. Setzer drapes a long black coat with yellow lining and a yellow triangle patter lining the high collar over his shoulders, kept in place by a short silver chain attached to two silver skull pins on either side of the coat.


Unlike the other Struggle fighters, Setzer is not at all aggressive in his fighting. The player can easily defeat him by keeping their distance and waiting for Setzer to use an attack, which they can dodge and attack while he is off his guard. Be sure not to attack while Setzer is kneeling to avoid his counterattack.
==Personality==
Setzer is a true gambler, willing to stake anything on luck and skill. However, he has a sneaky, underhanded side, as shown when he attempts to bribe Roxas to lose in the Struggle tournament. He is arrogant in his status as a top Struggle fighter, and takes pleasure in mocking his opponents.

*Setzer is technically the "earliest" Final Fantasy character used in the [[Kingdom Hearts]] series, hailing from Final Fantasy VI the only Yoshitaka Amano-designed character to appear in the series. Nomura has stated that he chose to use Setzer because he had an influence on his original design. In fact, there is one panel in the Kingdom Hearts II manga where Setzer, upon his first appearance in the Struggle battle against Roxas, is drawn very similarly to Yoshitaka Amano's style.

Origin[edit]

Setzer in Final Fantasy VI.

Setzer Gabbiani debuted as one of the main protagonists of Final Fantasy VI. Setzer is a very lively gambler and the owner of the only airship in the entire world, the Blackjack.

His notorious gambling habits are performed to conceal the scars from sessions gone wrong and the loss of his lover, Darill. He ends up becoming one of Terra Branford's party members when her party encounters him during an opera play he planned to foil. Persuaded by another foiled gamble by Celes, Setzer allows the party on his vessel. Setzer wields an assortment of gambling equipment as his weapons such as cards, dice, and darts, which do well in all stats except magic.

Setzer's line at the start of a match, "My life is a chip in your pile. Time to ante up.", is a slightly misquoted version of one of his lines from Final Fantasy VI: "My life is a chip in your pile! Ante up!".
